Sunday (2-2209) Fair Grounds recap
Stalkers fared best on the main. The two turf races were taken by a stalker (5.5f sprint) and a late runner (8f route).
Hat trick for Robby Albarado, and John Jacinto & Corey Lanerie both booted home a pair. Steve Asmussen saddled three winners on the card, and Shaun Bridgmohan rode two.
Outta Tune (Albarado/Tom Amoss) smoked six panels in 1:10.03 en route to a clearly best 5-length tally in the optional claiming feature.
Monday (2-23-09) Fair Grounds preview
Weather: Mostly sunny. High 60.
Race 4: Steve’s Star (7-2) is a $500k Keeneland sales grad out of 15% 1st grass sire Dynaformer, and Corey Lanerie/David Carroll are 3-4 together. He’s been working here since November and should be fit for his debut.
Race 7: War Eagle Lady (5-1) paired-up tops in her last two, a flat mile maiden win at Churchill (replay below) and a clearly 2nd best entry level effort at Turfway. Angel Montano shows a profit with new additions to his barn, and she fired fresh on turf last fall.
